Route Guidance

General Information

G
Warning
COMAND calculates the route to the desti-
nation without taking account of the follow-
ing:
Traffic lights
Stop and right-of-way signs
Lane merging
Parking or stopping prohibited areas
Other road and traffic rules and regula-
tions
Narrow bridges
COMAND may give incorrect navigation
commands if the data in the digital map
does not correspond with the actual road/
traffic situation. For example, if the traffic
routing has been changed or the direction of
a one-way road has been reversed.
For this reason, you must always observe
applicable road and traffic rules and regula-
tions during your journey. Road and traffic
rules and regulations always have priority
over the navigation commands generated by
the system.

COMAND guides you to the destination by
means of driving recommendations in the
form of navigation announcements or
route guidance displays.
i
The route guidance displays only appear if
the display has been switched to navigation
mode.
If for some reason you do not follow the
driving recommendations or leave the cal-
culated route, COMAND automatically cal-
culates a new route to the destination.
If the map data contains corresponding in-
formation during route guidance
COMAND tries to avoid roads with limited
passability, e.g. roads that are blocked for
through-traffic and are for residents only.
Time restrictions of roads (e.g. blocked on
Sundays and public holidays) are only tak-
en into account for route guidance if the
digital map contains corresponding infor-
mation during the blocked time periods.

Driving Maneuver

Driving maneuvers are given in three phas-
es:
